Has. Sak-rivier, Lichtenstein. Near the Gariep, Burchell, 2500. Zilverfontein, 
Drege! Springbokkeel, Zey./ 976. (Herb. D., Hk., Sd.) 
Root seemingly annual. Stems 3-6 inches long, spreading from a leafy crown. 
Leaves 1-14 inch long, not 1 line wide, almost always pinnatisect above the middle, 
with linear lobes. 1 am indebted to Dr. Sonder, who examined Lichtenstein’s origi- 
nal specimens (Herb. Berol.), for the synonym of Lessing. This plant appears to me 
to be a true Gazania, having the habit, involucre, and double pappus of this genus ; 
the outer scales about 10, long and denticulate at the extremity, the inner much 
shorter, entire. I retain De Candolle’s specific name, as he was the first to refer it 
to its proper genus. . 
( Uncertain Species. ) 
G. coronopifolia (DC. 1. c. 511) ; “subherbaceous, branching at the 
crown, leaves crowded at the ends of the branches, petioled, pinnati- 
partite, the lobes linear, obtuse, quite entire, with revolute margins, 
above glabrous, white-tomentose beneath; pedunc. glabrous, twice as 
long as the leaves; invol. obovate at base, the lobes rather longer than 
the tube, much acuminate, subrigid.” DC. 1. c. Arnica coronopifolia, 
Linn. Sp. 1247? Burm. Cap. p.27.

By description, this must come near G@. longiscapa. 
G. Kraussii (Sch. Bip. Flora. xxvii. 777); “radical leaves linear- 
lanceolate, quite entire, petioled, or pinnatipartite, with 1-2 pair of 
lobes, glabrous above, with revolute margins, white beneath ; scapes a 
span long, cobwebbed ; invol. cylindrical, truncate at base, the scales 
narrow-linear, the inner subulate, ro lines long.” Sch..B., abbrev. Walp.

By description this is probably G. longiscapa, DC. 
G. lineariloba (DC. 1. c. 512) ; “crown subherbaceous ; rad. leaves 
long-petioled, glabrous above, beneath, save the nerve, cano-tomentose, 
some undivided, oblong-linear, the majority pinnatipartite, the lobes in 
1-2 pair, linear, acute, the margins of all subrevolute, entire ; invol. ~ 
truncate at base, shortly cylindrical, the lobes biseriate, acute, equal, 
shorter than the tube.” DC. J, c.

Heads radiate ; ray-fl. ligulate, neuter ; disc-f. 5-toothed, perfect. 
\) Recept. very deeply honey-combed, the walls of the cells raised and 
~~ enclosing the achenes, apices setigerous. Jnvz. sc. pluriseriate, concrete 
at base, the outer pectinate-spinous, similar to the leaves, the innel™ 
entire or fimbriate, pungent. Achenes angular, glabrous, without pap- 
pus. DC. Prod. 6, p. 497- 
Small shrubs or suffrutices, all S. African. Branches leafy to the very summit. 
Leaves alternate, sessile or decurrent, margined with slender, spinous cilia : other- 
wise quite entire. Heads terminal, solitary. Fl. yellow. Named in honour of Sir 
T. @. Cullum, Bart., a Norfolk botanist.
